Works for me:
test=# create table t (id serial primary key, a int);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "t_id_seq" for serial column "t.id"
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "t_pkey" for table "t"
CREATE TABLE
test=*# create table t2 (id int references t, c int);
CREATE TABLE
test=*# insert into t (a) select * from generate_Series(10,50) s;
INSERT 0 41
test=*# insert into t2 values (1,1);
INSERT 0 1
test=*# insert into t2 values (2,2);
INSERT 0 1
test=*# insert into t2 values (3,3);
INSERT 0 1
test=*# insert into t2 values (4,4);
INSERT 0 1
test=*# select * from t where id not in (select id from t2 where c=3) limit 5;
id | a
